This was Saturday about 30 minutes before the park closed. I had no extra axle, u joint, upper AND lower ball joint, or floor jacks (2) or press for the ball joints. So, I was forced to leave the rig on the trail, drive the 70 miles home and then turn around on Sunday morning with all the tools and parts to fix the rig.
Sunday afternoon Paul Bubak came by to help me get it out of there. By that time, it was rolling and I was able to get it up the rocks and onto the trailer. The weather was sunny and warm. There was a blizzard on the east coast !
